About the Nominations
Instead of consulting publishing experts or a judging panel, we look to readers to find the best books of the year. We analyze statistics from the 170 million books added, rated, and reviewed on the site in 2012 and nominate based on a book's number of ratings and average rating. So a nomination is truly an honor because it comes straight from the readers!

I'll most likely vote for LR by Ward because I've read it.

Who will you vote for?
Is Once Burned really considered a romance? I would put it under paranormal fantasy.
